Two brothers, a family trade, and a studio standard

Ever Green started in 2018 with what our dad taught us about plants and the land on this coast. Today it's run by brothers Andrés and Josué Cordero, with a crew of about 25 and partner crews for the biggest jobs.

There's no landscape architecture degree in Costa Rica. So we took design courses at Universidad Creativa in San José and learned the rest by doing it, project after project, until we could design and build to the standard our clients were used to back home.

We still travel the world to learn about architecture and how other places build their gardens. Andrés was most recently in Japan. What we learn abroad comes back into the designs we draw here.

Why we work like an architecture studio

Most landscaping on this coast is done informally, and it shows two rainy seasons later. We decided early to do the opposite: a full design before anything is planted, plans and details our clients approve, and a real crew with an experienced lead on every job.

Our clients tell us we're not the lowest price. They also tell us that's why they chose us.

• A site visit and a full design presentation before any work starts.
• Every worker insured with the Caja (CCSS), all legal requirements met.
• Irrigation and low-voltage lighting built to US standards.
• Five stars on every Google review.
